Funny thing is, it wasn't always like that, but they changed it to that at some point, claiming that it was what limited their servers from being able to handle more houses.

Apparently storing the coordinates your characters logged off at takes a lot of capacity.

The general idea for mudra is that you should be able to do three inputs and activate during cool down for other basic actions. It's next to impossible to do without losing at least a fraction of a second on anything but a Japanese server though. It barely matters in all honesty though

Way to make a great game boring. I admit FFXIV 1.0 was majorly flawed, but it was never boring.
>>
>>324169229
It was boring from the start
They somehow made game that was even worse than ff11
Good thing ARR fixed everything. Yoshida is somehow the only mmo director who released not shitty basic game in the last decade

How good are warriors guys?
>>
>>324169463
Warriors and Scholars are the only fun classes in the game.
>>
>>324169457
Most of ARR was just completing content that was already planned in 1.0. YoshiT is a hack and the only thing ARR had going was the massive amount of quests and MSQ. But even that goes to shit in between the end of ARR and the beginning of HW.
>>
>>324169737
I've never played a tank class in an MMO so how hard is the warrior to play? A friend told me that the gladiator is retardedly easy but not as strong/fun
>>
>>324170126
It takes effort and smart thinking to keep enmity at first, but after 30 when you get your tanking stance, tanking becomes braindead easy. The fun comes from popping Berserk and going ham during boss fights. Gladiator/Paladin is just the first part without having damage like Warriors. You will want to level Gladiator to 22 for Provoke, which gives you number 1 priority on the target's hate list immediately, and it's pretty required for 8-man groups later.

Call me when they release FFXI's Trust System, maybe with that available I will be a bit more interested in paying for a month or two to finish the story and other dead content.

>>324172086
SMN is good but don't expect a good "pet class", it is mostly focused on DoT spells.
Tanks are rarer than healers in most dungeon queues, but apparently every static (group of endgamefags trying to avoid randoms) already had their own tanks and healers, so they usually are looking for non-retard DPS players (harder to get than a Onion Knight/Puff of Darkness minion with Duty Finder's 5 hours long queues). It used to be like that, at least, I don't play it anymore.
>>
>>324172616

At least WAR and DRK have dots and other ability combos outside of main enmity combo, albeit they get it late, like 35 and such.

So what's the best class in each role in terms of raw output?

I'm under the impression that BLM is No Bullshit Just Damage for DPS, WHM is No Bullshit Just Heals for healers and Paladin is No Bullshit Just Defense for tanks (which just ends up being boring af)
>>
>>324173154
MRD/WAR actually has damage, so it is fun. Also, you get two full combos rather than just 1.
>>
>>324172919
Tanks are the first class people max. Once their done they move on to another. If there aren't enough new players, there aren't enough tanks. If there aren't enough tanks, PF takes ages. They're sucking your dick because they don't want less tanks. It's a sign XIV is just another dying wow clone.

If SE wanted to copy wow they should have just copied what wow copied. Fucking EQ, the same game XI copied. The same fucking game that made WoW and XI so damn successful. But now everyone just copies current wow which has deviated from it's roots.
>>
>>324173280
Pretty much this. FF11 your healers had limited MP and if you ran out You are fucked, but since all 3 healing classes have like unlimited MP it would be boring and make healers useless if tanks could rarely be damaged.

It's more complicated than that, but Warrior is by far the best Tank due to their ability to do damage as a Tank. Dragoons are essential in parties due to their partywide crit buff, and while White Mages and Scholars are BFFs, Scholar is the easier and more fun choice to play in my opinion.

Tanks? WAR until the others get either a buff or they nerf WAR
Healing? It depends on what gimmick you feel more comfortable with.
DPS? Raw damage? MNK but almost all dps perform about the same. I've heard people can have tons of fun as MCH or BRD and they do less damage than MNKS, and say MNK is boring to them at the same time.

Everybody fucking sucks in FFXIV, and since there is no midcore content and very few hardcore content, you are either a brain-dead casual or a drama-queen tryhard. You will go insane if you even try to do be something else and do a bit more/less than the minimal required effort to beat content since your party members will either do fuck all (/follow healers, 1-2-3-gotta-save-oGCD-for-later, etc) or will complain all day that you aren't a pixel perfect button presser because they are trying to hide the fact they also suck at DPS checks .

The only difference is that, as a non-tank player, you will be waiting 10~90 minutes for a tank to join your queue, so after you manage to get one, it is better to make sure he will continue playing as a tank for the rest of the game (or dungeon run, at least) by giving him /pets, commendations and Adventurer in Need bonus.

Didn't work and at the end I got no commendations, but I bet he got one from every other shitter in that group.

That's another thing that pisses me off. Commendations in general only serve to highlight even MORESO playing with shitty players is shitty. Because it's just some extra arbitrary power people hold over you, and even when you go out of your way to help it just goes to show how they aren't even grateful for it. I mean it's one thing if it's just vague epeen points but there's alot of content locked behind commendation gates.

Did you equip your Job stone that he gave you?

Also, it's been awhile since I played Triple Triad, but I think Plus rules work by having two sides equal each other. Basically think on a card it looks like 1 up 3 right 1 down 2 left. On both right and left sides, the cards with a touching side have the values of 2 and 3. So, 3+2 = 2+3. When that happens, you capture those two cards. The Combo thing that happens afterwards is something that kind of just happens, but I think it happens if the enemy card is surrounded by cards under your control.

Say you place a card between two others on your left and right ( O X O )

7 (8) 9

The middle column are all cards that are under your control. You place a card in the 5 space this turn, and it captures cards 4 and 6. Since cards 7, 9, 1, and 3 are isolated and surrounded by your cards, they are now captured as well.

Summoner and Scholar play differently enough that you can't do the same thing as both classes besides applying DoTs. They also have different main stats to put points in so you can't really switch freely back and forth between them without carting a bunch of those items that let you reset stat points. You'll also need completely different equipment for each class past a certain point as equips stop being 'one size fits all' in terms of stats for all magic classes.
>>
>>324177103

I got my summoner to 50. It's a pretty fun class. There's also some fates you can solo that other classes can't.

>I assumed stat points were for each class as you leveled them
Yes and summoner and scholar are both under the arcanist class.
>>
>>324178426
SCH and SMN are the only ones that share stat points since both have the same base class. STR on PUG/MNK is what you should be doing. Those reset items are really easy to get, only cost 200 company seals.

SCH is easier from 1-60 as your pet will heal plenty.

Any endgame content require you to control your heals and DPS as well as your pets.

It's usually because, as a Scholar, they aren't the main healer in a group. Even during dungeons, a good scholar can make the fairy do the majority of the healing while the Scholar himself does damage.

From doing MSQ content everything into Vit is fine. Once you get into endgame hell it becomes more complicated as people start bitching if the tank and healer aren't dishing out DPS along with the actual DPS classes so you may have start getting strength accessories at that point.

No they can't. A proper <mo> macro on embrace can account for a lot of it but there will still be a ton of stance dancing.
I'd even argue the <mo> macro adds to the amount of execution.

>White Mage always felt like it had less tools and resources than Scholar when I played it.
WHM has way fewer tools but it can make use of those few tools quite well. SCH has like 15 different OGCD moves that all do different things that you have to use in a split second. Way more difficult than the 4 button fix anything that WHM has.
WHM also has fewer DOTs to juggle and no Aether mechanic.

That's because 90% of the stuff added until 1.23 was created under Tanaka, they just didn't have time to polish it and finish it until later patches. Yoshida The Hack just told them to finish whatever was further ahead in development, while he worked on his WoW reskin in the background. A bunch of unused concepts also carried over to 2.0 like Free Companies and to 3.0 with Ishgard, but now that he ran out of 1.0 ideas, Yoshida's incompetence truly shines.

50-60 nowadays is a fucking joke. I've gotten 900k exp from a daily low level roulette, and 400k exp from a daily trial roulette.

to go from fresh 59 to 60 now takes 3 runs of library and about 4 fates, assuming you have rested, FC exp and food running, which you should if you haven't leveled everything.

Is there any chance we'll see FFXI's classic sense of fear make its way into XIV? Are dangerous mobs even feasible in a modern-MMO setting?

As in, I'm just wondering if it's likely that we'll ever see XIV in later expansions with the additions of completely new areas try to emulate that sense of foreboding you would get in FFXI when you'd have to try and cross a zone to your destination?

Or, does something like that already exist in some facet of the game I've yet to experience? I totally get the importance of Aetheryte Crystals located in every single zone in the game, and why they're needed, but part of me wishes that later expansions would kind of force us to band together like we did in XI. Basically, as the game continues on with future content updates and expansions, I'd really like to see veteran players have to adopt a more hardcore playstyle just to continue progressing through the main quest.

Maybe sections of Eorzea that go on for zones and zones without any sort of Aetheryte crystal that you can attune to? Or airships that you have to use to cross these zones in real time?
I mean, maybe I'm just rooting around in my own nostalgia here, but is there a chance the more hardcore portion of the community--who have made strong bonds with friends and play with a regular static--would be interested in a slower and possibly more traditional MMO progression curve?

Anyways, just wondering what the community's thoughts would be on such a thing. Sorry if this is an annoying question. I love XIV and all that, but I guess I'm getting a little fatigued by XIV's gameplay loop by now.

any sense of danger introduced in a game that has had its playerbase' hand held throughout the entire game would be a disaster

this mmo has without a doubt the least skilled playerbase out of any mmo out there

FFXIV's overworld will never be a threat thanks to ilevel creep.

Maybe if they unfuck Diadem you might get something like that.

Lol, it's already was casual hand holding shit compared to any mmo on the market

>Is there any chance we'll see FFXI's classic sense of fear make its way into XIV?
No. They touted "dangerous mobs in the open world" prior to FFXIV but really it just meant they had a bit more health relative to you than the ARR mobs

No. It's apparent that Yoshi hates FFXI because he won't let anything good from that game get into his WoW clone. He hated it so much that he had to "fix" FFXI because it "doesn't work in the current market" or whatever bullshit reason there was for changing it.

>>324181957
no nigga why would you expect something so misaligned with the game so far into it's lifespan to be added?

I want the same shit you do but don't hold your breath. Let's hope BDO is unfucked for western release or dragon's dogma online comes here.

I'd rather work on her Coeurl form, if you know what I mean.

She's gotta get used to working with GL3

Only the WoW fags who have never played XI or any other Final Fantasy game would defend this.

I loved their thought process with Thordan EX

Is there anything worse than FFXIV shills?

You act like this shit is some fucking mindblowing technology never seen in a video game before.

Literally the worst fanbase on /v/.
>>
>>324182605
All fanbases are the worst. They should be exterminated like the vermin they are.
>>
>>324182332
Will the icons be similar to ones we've seen before but they do a completely different mechanic because Yoshida is inconsistent with what icon does what?

There's like 50 different stack together icons.
and /v/ defends this.
>>
>>324182605
It's mostly new people who defend this game, not many people play this game for a long period of time.
